Mirages: tout l'Art of Laurent Durieux
« Le très beau travail de Laurent Durieux élève l’art de l’affiche à un haut niveau. Les images, qui sont exécutées remarquablement, expriment des idées et des thèmes du film qu’il a choisi d’un nouvel éclairage. Ses images racontent beaucoup de choses sans mots et font partie de la merveilleuse tradition de l’art de l’illustration.»
FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA, réalisateur
« Le travail de Laurent nous permet de redécouvrir des classiques d’une façon totalement différente. J’attends toujours avec impatience la sortie de ses nouveaux posters, et j’aimerais tellement avoir plus de place sur mes murs pour en afficher davantage.»
BOB GALE, scénariste et producteur
« Travailler avec Laurent sur la bande-originale d’Oldboy m’a rendu certain d’une chose : il n’est pas seulement l’un des meilleurs illustrateurs du moment, c’est d’abord un véritable artiste. Ce qu’il a créé pour Oldboy est profondément subliminal. C’est comme regarder un film à travers une image unique, laquelle contient une beauté infinie et inoubliable.»

Okay the last one for now although considering how quiet today is I expect there will be a load more being added soon haha.
So on to Mirages - and I have to say that this is a book I have been eyeing up for a while but never quite seemed to get round to buying - until now and boy am I kicking myself for not getting it sooner.
IT is AMAZING!
enough said - what you have here is a totally unique style (although Laurent does recognise the various influences and historical references from which his approach to art have developed from) of some of the most famous and instantly recognisable films of recent year. HOWEVER as the book explains he tried to approach the subject matter from different perspectives and for me it makes them all the more amazing - not only the style but also the content.
All I can say is this book is so worth looking out for - even the book itself is sumptuous - with thick heavy pages this is a book of quality and I am so pleased I decided to add it to my collection.

Beautiful coffee table book that is a pleasure to browse through each time you pick it up. Excellent production values for the design and the printing. An interesting addition are pages of some of the posters printed in their actual print size to illuminate their detail.

Five stars for the art, three for reproduction and paper stock. The beautiful colors simply don't pop as they should.
I'm normally anti glosss paper, but these images needed it.
Of course if you have $500, the deluxe edition is larger and has the better paper...
